Preview und Epilog
... und ganz langsam wird ein Schuh draus. Nachdem dieses Projekt reichlich (warte)zeitbehaftet war, ist eine 'Blonde' T*le draus geworden. Abe Rittenhouse hat mir einen zu dem seit Jahren fertigen Hals passenden Body geschickt ...
Die Pickups von KINMANN haben mir erlaubt, die 4-Wege Schaltung >>, publiziert von Dirk Wacker auszuprobieren - als Zugabe zu dem staubtrockenen und ausgewogenen Sound gibt die Gitarre noch einen Humbucker mit richtig mehr Volume und Punch her.

Custom Assembled Tele von 'lefthandgear'

Internationally
Vintage feeling and modern specs are closely combined to this 'one of a kind' - I think, I'll not build up lot's of these guitars for presentation or testing purposes ... except those coming on customers demand. In case of availability of left handed parts, nitrocellulose laquering and few other oddities the process needed a long time to go ... and that's, what I achieved:

The fat Warmoth neck is beautifully birdseyed, maple cap soundboard. The guitars sound is well balanced, dry and dynamic. The Broadcaster Set from Chris Kinmann provides 'old' Vintage sound and allows the alternate parallel/series switchung using a 4-way selector without any more noises. The added 4th sound is a real punchy and fat humbucker-alike!

This project took a long time to go - I think the guitar will do, too - 'xcuse me bad English! jk
Where ever you are: thanx for your interest. JK
